Abstract

This study explores the pivotal role of international learning and knowledge acquisition in shaping organizational practices within the context of internationalization. It underscores the value of sourcing knowledge from external sources, learning from others, and creating a culture supportive of internationalization efforts. Drawing from the works of prominent scholars, this research highlights the interconnectedness of international learning, domestic practices, and knowledge acquisition. The study emphasizes the need for organizations to actively seek external knowledge, establish a culture conducive to internationalization, and efficiently manage both explicit and tacit knowledge to facilitate successful knowledge transfer and application in a global context. Tacit knowledge, often rooted in experience and challenging to articulate explicitly, emerges as a critical component in this knowledge transfer process. In addition to these key insights, the study identifies areas for future research, including the retention of knowledge repositories, the empirical assessment of export impact, the dynamics of tacit knowledge transfer, and the significance of organizational flexibility in internationalization. A deeper exploration of these areas through empirical research promises to enhance our understanding of the complexities involved in international expansion, informing organizational strategies for thriving in global markets.
